Factual error: During this game, your mech is carried around from world to world by a Titan class DropShip. Titans are strictly aerospace fighter carriers.

Grumpy Scot

More Mechwarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy mistakes

Factual error: When you hit an enemy plane with your gun, you can sometimes hear the enemy pilot say: "Damn! My plane's been Swiss-cheesed!" In the Strangereal world (the world where the Ace Combat Series takes place) there is no country of Switzerland.

More Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War mistakes

Plot hole: In the level A Show of Force, Bond has to drive the Q-Bike. It seems that this bike came from nowhere, as it wasn't there the first time he went to the safe house, and 003 was already captured. No one could have put it there.

More James Bond: Everything or Nothing mistakes

Bug: There are two ways to perform this glitch. When the glitch is performed, the game can't progress, regardless of the fact all windows on the current floor have been fixed. Ralph will continue to throw bricks and Felix can still be moved, but the game will stay on the current floor. One way of performing this glitch is to 'die' just as the last window on the floor is fixed. The second way to perform the glitch is to press the fix button on a window and have Ralph destroy the window whilst it's being fixed.

Other mistake: When entering Final Fortress as Team Sonic, Sonic will say "This must be Eggman's headquarters!" however the subtitles make a typing error and leave out the 'be,' reading "This must Eggman's headquarters!"

More Sonic Heroes mistakes

Continuity mistake: When going to the Gotham City Bank, the clock tower bell will begin to ring. Alfred then contacts Batman and says that it's now 12:00 AM and wishes him a merry Christmas. If you look at the clock tower, however, the clock says that it's only 9 o'clock.

More Batman: Arkham Origins mistakes

Bug: Bot Boneyard: Pac-Man lands in the pit and he takes a look around. The shot cuts to what Pac-Man can see. As the shot pans around, the black paint on the walls disappears from shot.

Casual Person

More Pac-Man World 3 mistakes

Other mistake: In the Big section of the Special Book, the first clue to find Big spells "pillar" "pilalr".

More Sonic and the Secret Rings mistakes

More Hogwarts Legacy mistakes
More Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s mistakes

Factual error: Whenever you fly a damaged helicopter where the tail is bent, you can fly just fine. This is impossible, in a real helicopter, when this happened the helicopter would spin out of control and eventually crash.

Buzz

More Saints Row 2 mistakes

Continuity mistake: After defeating Blane, Bill will appear and ask you to go to the Sevii Islands. Answer no. He'll then go to the Cinnabar's Pokemon Center and will wait for you there. However, if you fly to his house in Route 25, he'll also be there. He's in two places at the same time.

More Pokemon: FireRed and LeafGreen mistakes

Factual error: When you reach the champion in Pokemon Gold, you have to defeat his Pokemon. His 4th one, Aerodactyl, knows the move Rock Slide. Aerodactyl cannot learn this move, and it does not appear as a TM in this generation.

Spectraball mistake picture

Bug: Space Construct: About two thirds of the way through the map, you come to an S shaped thin blue path that has gravity lifters turned sideways along the edges at some points. The lifters there to push you off the path if you don't hit the spot just right. Sometimes when jumping over the lifters and a high speed and landing on the path, the Spectraball will suddenly become lodged into the path, stuck through it. You can not get out and have to restart from last checkpoint.

Video

Revealing mistake: Towards the beginning, you find a VHS tape upstairs in the house. Putting it in the VCR plays the tape, but allows you to see the video through he camera man's perspective, by playing as him during the recording. If you press the control button to block, you see the camera man's hands, both arms, come up to block. However the camera he's recording with stays in place. It's a camera that uses VHS so it wouldn't be strapped to his head. He should drop the camera if he lifts both hands like that, but is putting them in front of the camera.

Suggested correction: It's possible it was a non-VHS camera that was transferred to a VHS.

LorgSkyegon

That would make no sense considering the context and situation. This is a 'haunted house' and with this being a Resident Evil game which is a time line set where the end of the world happened in the mid 90's when VHS was still in wide spread use.

Quantom X

Clearly a mistake. For example why would you record something and then transfer it to outdated technology?

Ssiscool

Indeed. And now that I've seen a bit further into the game. Another character gets the same camera and records another message on a tape and leaves it behind for you to find.

Quantom X

More Resident Evil 7 mistakes
Larva Mortus mistake picture

Bug: Sometimes after killing an enemy, the blood will go through the wall and land in the black area outside of the map. Which is doubly weird since blood normally only stays around the same spot the enemy was killed in.

Quantom X

More Larva Mortus mistakes

Revealing mistake: On Escort matches, any time the tank goes under a walkway, you can see the antennas sticking up through the floor moving through it like a shark fin.

Quantom X

More AVA - Alliance of Valiant Arms mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the opening cutscene, The American is walking up looking around and finds a machine gun on the ground. His eyes are blue here. But a few shots later when he is on the tank and looks up, his eyes are green.

Quantom X

More Deadly 30 mistakes

Audio problem: The various versions of the Scrake, including the Halloween and Circus Scrakes have chainsaws on their right arms. However, the Christmas Scrake has just a giant ice knife for a right arm. Yet you can still hear the sounds of a chainsaw when he is near despite not having one.

Quantom X

More Killing Floor mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the level Second Sun, when you take control of Ramirez for the second time, the EMP doesn't hit until a few seconds pass. You can tell because the street lights and helicopters are still fully functioning. However, your holographic sight has already been disabled.
